The Battle of the Few (poem 10)

(A poem for the 70th anniversary of The Battle of Britain)
Those Few flew over London’s sky by day and by night.
The great Few that always know the Empire would never lose.
They always knew they would return to England’s soil, be it above or below.
They who battled like legendary heroes not by land or sea but in the air like never before.
They who’s bravery and unselflessness stopped the Nazi war marchine in it’s tracks.
They who stopped the world being invaded and becoming slaves (or at least for a few more years).
They are the men who won the Battle of Britain.
They are the kind Few who should never ever be forgotten.
